1t is a curious fact that young robins
have pretty, notified breasts, turning
to a ruddy orange as they grow older;
When about four weeks old. they ma
home too small for them. They perch
on the edge of the nest; their mother
flutters to and fro before them, ana
shows them that flying is very easy
matter-if you only know how! AT
lart the dumpy little things take cour-
age, and, with much trembling and
beating of heart they launch their
small feathered boats upon the great
air-ocean. How delicious! 1t bears
them up! They are in frenzy OF de-
light, and at the top peg of self-respect'
as they cling awkwardly to the messy
apple bough at least a dozen feet from
home. How small the nest looks now!
Who wants to go back9 1t requires
little urging for the second voyage.
But night comes on. 1t is very dark.
Great, cold drops of rain come patter-

backs of four young robins, who wish
very much that they were at home.

they are quiet, and know they are SAFE
The dear, watohful mother has never

their wet, uncomfortable feathers she

ones are comforted. and, head under
wing, fall asleep.
| Peacefully and happily the long
summer days pass by. Sometimes,
but not often, there is still another nest
full of children to feed and care for.
In city and country, from Greenland
to Florida, the cheerful whistle of the
robin is heard. The fruit ripens in the
orchard and the nights grow cold.
Some morning in early November the
sparkling white frost tells our CHEEKY
little neighbor that he must move to
his winter quarters. The warm, sun
ny slopes of the South. the pleasant
groves Of Mexico and Guatemala. are
waiting for him. By the tenth of the
month there are only few robins left
in the Middle States and New England
fellows who have wrapped
their feathers about their ears, and,
choosing the deepest evergreen thick
cts for their home, will stay all winter.

Archaeological Treasures.

Recent excavations at Dymenion,
near Volo, in Greece, have led to the
discovery of prehistoric tomb The
search began several weeks ago. when
the Commissioner of the Archaeological
Society at Athens proceeded to
Dymenion to ascertain whether the
antiquities thus found were authentic.
Nothing official has yet been published.
but it now appears certain that the
tomb itself dates from the Homeric
period. Most of the subjects it con-
tains are women's jewels in gold, but
there are others in amber and in kind
of resin not yet defined. Almost all
of them represent flowers or leaves.
They are similar in artistic3workman-
ship to those found in the tombs OF
Mycena. Some of them are scarcely
larger than pins head. and yet leave
nothing to be desired in beauty and
finish. The excavations OF Dymenion.
like those of Mycen@, tend to the sup
position that the population was sea-
faring; and certain indications have
led to the conclusion that the bodies
deposited in the tomb Of Dymenlon
were cremated.-N r Post.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
TWO VIEWS.

Iknow bright young fellow,
And so, perhaps, do you,
Whose age might range most anywhere
From six to eight times two.
He's often gay and jolly.
He's often kind and true;
And then again But listen,
While hold him UP to view:
He comes into the parlor.
When guest is sitting there, a:
And lifts his hat politely,
With deferential air.
He answers to your greeting
With modest, manly ease,
And il obliged to pass you,
Says: Excuse me, il you please"
He stoops to pat the kitten,
And takes the nearest seat;
Nor tits his chair against the wall
Nor e1evates his feet.
He listens with attention,
Or tell the latest news,
Or talks in modest fashion,
OF any thing you choose.
In speaking of him after, s
The guest is heard to say:
"a noble, manly fellow
Most pleasing every way" @
But listen still q moment.
While give the other view,
Which though it widely differs,
Is equally as true.
The scene is at the table,
Where waits his vacant chair,
He slams the door, and takes his place
With most ungracious air.
His mothers kind "Good-mornine"
Is answered with growl;
His face last night so beaming,
Now wears an ugly scowl.
He grumbles at the beefsteak,
And calls the coffee slop;
eff he could not do BETTER
He'd try once more, and stop"
His sisters laughing answer
Is silenced from the start
BY some weighty observations
About her being smart"
When his meal, at length, is finished
The paper must be read,
In the best seat by the fire,
With his feet above his head,
TITS but the truth I'm telling,
Though it does seem very strange
That over any body
There could come such change.
If any one should ask him
Whom he truly loved the best,
His mother, or the person
Who was but passing guest
He would straightway grow indignant
And feel insulted quite,
Or think your mind had wandered
Or deserted you outright
l*s s#r
Why should we keep for others
Each pleasant word or jest,
And save our gruffest manners
For those who love us best?'
Then, while each friend and stranger
We treat with courteous care, sr
Let's save for loving home-friends
At least an equal share.

The death of Henry Ward Beecher has
less tender, from a thousand sources.
All these notices are chiefly remarkable
for the kindly feeling which speaks in
every line and evidently animates every
sentiment they contain. Yet Mr..
Beecher was strong man, with decided
views, and these he habitually expressed
with great candor. Moreover, he lived
amid exciting scenes, and Of these he
was always part. Is it not strange
that bitter enemies express only sorrow
mt his death and drop only tears at his
grave?
1t is not only the feeling. voiced Of old.
which forbids Us To speak aught but
good of the dead. There is evidently a
love and reverence for the man which
silences criticism of his deeds-there is a
tenderness which evokes sorrow incoln-
patible with strict clearness of vision,
and mists gather in the eyes of the
judges to soften the outlines of the
figure which stands before them. Yet
MIR. Beecher opposed himself to the
strongest prejudices of the age-he de-
fled the powers of the visible and invisi-
Bile world when he sought to break the
chains of hell with the same hands he
outstretched to free the slave. And the
same sublime personality which sur
rounded him with Christian supporters
when he was put outside his Church.
now guards his memory and XlOrifies
his tomb
Yet the anomaly is easily explained
MIR. Beecher was one of those who su-
.premely loved his fellow-man. Through
error and sii,-through strength and
weakness, the man was upheld by
power stronger than death--purer than
the radiance of a star-the love of all
nature. sympathy with sorrow and hatred
of wrong. And this love-so reaching
and all embracing, was no idle senti-
ment. Ii was ever active-it shone
fairest of all ON childhood. it embraced
the animal and covered the weak unfor-
innate with mantle warmer than that
Of charity and more impervious to the
fault-finding philosophy of his genera
ton. 1t is the consciousness Of this love
which will !guard in loving hearts the
name of Henry Ward Beecher. He at
tackled the South to free the negro, but
when the letters Of the slave had been
shattered, he was the friend of Jefferson
Davis and the warm admirer of the New
south

The press of the country is a power
which should be second in purity and
sanctity only to the moral force welded
in the pulpit-the influence of the mind
is far nobler in essence and more elevat-
ed in tone than the brute force OF the
hand. The man who has a giants
strength and uses it like giant is
execrable-dirty work is infamous in
proportion to the degree Of possible
cleanliness. What is the guilt Of the
man who deliberately prefers the weapon
OF the assassin? What shall be said of
the man who wilfully degrades high
power and great responsibility to the
foul purpose of Islander: who accepts the
stink-pot of the Chinaman by preference
and dashes his celestial weapon in the
faces of our noblest and best?
Yet the editor of a "a great and good"
paper has done all this. Enshrined in
the hearts of the people of Florida may
be found in high honor and love the
names of E. A. Perry and w. d. Blox-
ham. These have been so placed by right
OF good service well performed-they
have been echoed over the field Of battle
where we strove manfully for the
preservation of all the citizens Of a free
State hold dearest-they have guarded
our interest in peace ms they led us when
the foe was strongest. These two lead
ers are striving for pre-eminence, but it
Is in honorable warfare. and each feels
in his heart the admiration ard r>.rars
which springs instructive in the hearts
Of all true men for the opponent who
stands front to front and scores the sus-
picion Of unfair dealing.
